Tennessee parents are voicing their concerns about a middle school history assignment in which students were asked to write "Allah is the only god."
(Washington, DC)—What if your child or grandchild's public school forced them to write out the Shahada—the Islamic conversion creed—while [skipping] Christianity? (Photo via ACLJ.org)
What if your child's study guide had a section called "Origins of Islam" that included statements such as, "Around the age of 40, the angel Gabriel told Muhammad that he was to be a prophet of Allah."?
Stated as fact, not belief.
Yet, according to reports and numerous contacts to the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), that is exactly what is happening. In fact, children are being forced to learn how to convert to Islam and recite that "Allah is the only god."
It's Islamic indoctrination right here in our schools.
In Tennessee, these are realities facing parents of middle schoolers. Parents and concerned citizens from at least three counties have contacted us… with concerns about what their students are being taught.
As Fox News reports, parents like Brandee Porterfield are speaking out about what their children are experiencing:
Tennessee parents are voicing their concerns about a middle school history assignment in which students were asked to write "Allah is the only god."
Brandee Porterfield joined "Fox and Friends" this morning, saying she has no problem with her seventh-grade daughter learning about Islam as part of world history, but believes time should also be devoted to Christianity.
"They did this assignment where they wrote out the Five Pillars of Islam, including having the children learn and write the Shahada, which is the Islamic conversion creed," she explained.
Porterfield said she spoke with the Spring Hill Middle School teacher and principal, who said there would not be similar lessons on Christianity and Judaism.
She said she reviewed the state standards and there are upcoming lessons on Hinduism and Buddhism.
Unlike the lessons on Islam, however, Porterfield said students would not be expected to memorize a creed dealing with those religions.
Maury County school officials refuse to acknowledge the blatant constitutional violations at issue here, merely stating that they "covered some sensitive topics" that "caused some confusion."
That's outrageous. The indoctrination of students with the precepts of converting to Islam and forcing them to recite "Allah is the only god" aren't "sensitive topics"; it's unconstitutional.
School officials claim "By the end of the year, students will have studied Buddhism, Hinduism and other religions," but there is no indication as to what will be covered or for how long.
School officials indicated that in contrast the class would pay mere lip service to Christianity. As the Daily Caller notes:
[I]t appears that Tennessee students don't study Christianity per se. There is not, for example, one class day dedicated to the basic Jesus story.
[School officials] promised that students would eventually come across a reference to Christianity when history teachers reach the "Age of Exploration" in eighth grade. Then, students will hear about Christians persecuting other Christians in some countries in Western Europe.
Outrageous.
But the problem could be much bigger than one school and one assignment.
Our client in neighboring Williamson County said that as part of the middle school class work on Islam—in addition to the worksheet his son was asked to fill out (two portions of which are above)—his son was forced to recite things in Arabic without even being told what it meant.
And this isn't just an issue in one state. Earlier this year, we reported that public school students in Madison, Wisconsin were given an assignment to "pretend you are Muslim," while public school students in Florida were instructed to recite the Five Pillars of Islam as a prayer, make Islamic prayer rugs, and perform other Muslim rituals. Suspiciously, the textbook discussing Islam had chapters missing. Which chapters? Those on Christianity and Judaism.
To put this in perspective, imagine the outcry from the ACLU, Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), and other leftist and angry atheist organizations if a study guide stated, "Jesus is the Son of God," and forced children to recite the Lord's Prayer. These organizations would be beside themselves claiming indoctrination of our public school students.
But where are these organizations now?
At the ACLJ, we're taking direct action. We're in direct contact with a number of parents and concerned citizens, we're taking on new clients, and preparing critical demand letters and open records requests to these schools and school districts.
Religious liberty must be protected and Islamic indoctrination must be stopped.
It is a clear constitutional principle that public education may not indoctrinate young minds into a religion. Teachers and schools may teach what different faith traditions believe and how that has affected world history and geography. But a school cannot censor Christianity and promote Islam.
As we take direct action to defend religious liberty and expose the truth, we need you to stand with us.
In addition to the progressively sad state of their politics, one often hears of muslim things quietly happening in Tennessee, and for a number of years now.
It surprised me initially, but surprise has changed into something else, has been growing steadily and is trending down.
This fundamental transformation crap is fundamentally fupted up and has welcomed our nation's slow motion Ezekiel 28:7 suicide.
Sins of the fathers passed on to the children, I suppose. I've read that sin is sorta like mass as sin both weighs a person down and that sin has a form of gravity such that sin attracts more sin.
After all these generations since the last cleansing, our world must be close to becoming a black hole by now.
Just from the 1960s until 2015, we've been steadily picking up speed skiing the slippery slope, tolerating, accepting and then welcoming more and more vices that become habits and then go viral.
Once we opened the door to the ritual human sacrifice of our unborn on the alter of convenience, without thought or care, we doomed ourselves and future to our eventual suicide...one way or another.
Stay on a road long enough and you'll eventually get to where it goes. "Are we there yet?!?"
No, but you can see the smog up ahead. How about we turn around NOW and get outta here!
[Better yet, get the fools out of public education. Vote in a new school board. Clean house. It is easy.]
Actually, it is not easy. Now that the DC and many state politicians and judges who control government and who hate liberty, justice and all who love the Constitutional liberties our inspired Christian forefathers affirmed in the bill of rights. The world citizen rinos and the world citizen democrats and their political leaders are corrupted by the love of money and of power and despise Americans as a whole.
“Out of all the 53 states, I am least surprised that this story comes from of Tennessee.”
Tennessee is the state that keeps electing Corker and Alexander to the Senate. Corker’s most recent gift to Islam was the Iran nuclear deal.
[Once we opened the door to the ritual human sacrifice of our unborn on the alter of convenience, without thought or care, we doomed ourselves and future to our eventual suicide...one way or another]
It is true, ritual human sacrifice of defenseless souls of children murdered by murderers in abortion mills was the first great evil the Christian inspired nation of America opened the door to Satan and his minions. Now the mentally ill leftwing dem and their rino cohorts run America.
[Corker’s most recent gift to Islam was the Iran nuclear deal]
The Congress critters are idiots.
Public schools don’t ignore Christianity.
Why they’re gonna fire that football coach for praying (a Christian prayer) before a game...
See!
There is one way to get the school’s attention.
Get a bunch of families together (without the school knowing), form a group to teach and/or supervise the children.
Take 3-4 parents and go to the school - DEMAND TO SEE THE PRINCIPAL. Remind the school that their job is to teach reading, writing and math .. not spiritual things. Then, inform the school, that until they stop teaching the children anything about Islam, their children will no longer be attending the school.
Or .. just organize and have a “call-out” or “sick-out” to the school from each of the parents.
Remember, the schools get federal dollars for each child; they cannot afford to lose over half of their students. As soon as the school realizes that the parents have backed them into a corner .. they will be happy to discuss getting rid of any teaching of Islam. And .. be sure you include in your changes, the permission for any parent to attend any class their child is in .. to test what’s being taught.
YOUR TAXES ARE PAYING FOR THESE PEOPLE TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN .. PLEASE MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT THEY’RE TEACHING.
And .. in a small school in Eagle Point, OR, they did this and it worked. I’m not sure of the time period the children were away from the school - but the parents had a lot of fun showing their children HOW TO WIN. And .. the school paid attention to what the parents wanted.
PARENTS - YOU CAN DO IT.
Remember that the Muslim Allah is simply SATAN
Remember that the Muslim Allah is simply SATAN
Perhaps this is what the students should be reciting.

“...If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war. As it stands, we have allowed this to happen to ourselves. We have even squandered the gains in student achievement made in the wake of the Sputnik challenge. Moreover, we have dismantled essential support systems which helped make those gains possible. We have, in effect, been committing an act of unthinking, unilateral educational disarmament...”

Common Core: Even classroom education has not escaped the tentacles of the Muslim Brotherhood. The connection between Common Core and the international terror group is through, once again, Qatar.
It’s just the elites prepping the peasant children to accept Islamization when it happens. At the very least it will keep them from panicking about it until it’s too late.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Get YOUR children out of the government indoctrination centers - NOW!
Another freaking typo?! That's just embarrassing, almost as embarrassing as Corker and Lamar.
Sorry about that. I need to learn to proofread before posting.
Everybody knows there are 57 states.
